Zero Turn Mowers
Anybody have recommendations or opinions? Mrs. C told me I could get one after the ink has dried on the sale of Chez Fromage. And I didn’t even bring it up. Right now, I’m checking out Deere, Husky, and Cub Cadet residential mowers. I don’t need to cut a vein for a commercial mower. I’m kind of leaning towards the Cub Cadet ZT2 54.

hate to say it being a deere tech, but the closest thing deere has to that is a Z720E, and that retails for $6449, a fair bit more than the ZT2....
also, side note... i dont remember the landscape of la nouvelle maison du fromage but if you have slopes or hills, Z turns dont like them... LOL |

Guys-An acre and I’d guess it’s 98% flat. The only slope is the ditch and the 14 year old Troy Bilt rider ain’t fond of it either.
Bogie-I checked with the local JD dealer and he only deals in commercial mowers. If I want a residential Deere, it has to come from Lowe’s.

Going to fix the Troy Bilt next month and put a for sale sign on it.

Nice. I had a zero turn back in Georgia. When I had grass to cut, instead of the desert landscaping out here in Phoenix. Once you get the hang of the 180* turns, it really cuts down on the time it takes to do the grass. The only downside is that you need both hands on the control arms, and that doesn't leave a hand free for a cold one. I suppose all life is a trade-off, though.

That’s what the Park position is for. But, it isn’t the Tuesday after Memorial Day. Then I buy my annual case of Corona.

I was looking at that exact mower today but instead bought a husky tractor. The main reason was about 1000 cheaper plus my old husky tractors bagger fits on new tractor. Those things are like 500 bucks.
You cub looks sweet. Congrats. |
